Iii placing before the American public the programmes for onr 

Annual Grand Excursion Parties to Europe for 1880, 

we find it necessary to define our position as the Originators and 
Promoters of the European Tourist and Excursion System, 
and the Only successful Conductors of Tours to all parts of the 
Globe, as clearly as we did when we first issued our announcements 
in America, as far back as the year 1866, although since that date we 
have had the honor of conveying many thousands of the citizens of the 
United States to all the chief points of interest in various parts of the 
globe, and although we have the pleasure of knowing that our arrange- 
ments have given universal satisfaction, and so have insured us a very 
large number of living advertisers, who are constantly recommending 
to their friends our system of tours, still we know that there are many 
thousands in America who wish to travel, and who may have heard of 
the name of COOK, but who have little or no idea of the enormous 
extent of our business, the universal faculties at our command, or the 
soundness and stability of our financial position and undertakings. 

We would, therefore, impress upon our readers that we are not 
"speculator*," whose chief object is to get the greatest profit they can 
out of those who intrust their interests to them; but that we are a 
reliable and responsible firm, with a reputation at stake as important 
to us as the reputation of the Bank of England is to its Governors. 



^cC00K'g^EaR0PE^N^EXca^i0N?.^ 



Some idea of the business of our firm may be gathered from the fact 
that during 1878 the receipts of the firm increased about one million 
two hundred thousand dollars, and that for the Paris Exposition we 
paid the French Minister of Finance for nearly half a million of 
admissions, or for about one-thirtieth of the total number of admis- 
sions. Our firm consists of only two members, viz., Thomas Cook, 
the originator, who has retired from active work, and John M. 
Cook, the sole managing partner, who has had over thirty years' 
experience of this unique and peculiar business. These two mem- 
bers own the whole capital employed in working this most marvel- 
ous business, which is carried on in every quarter of the globe, and 
we now have twenty-six Branch Offices, all managed by our own 
salaried representatives. 

Therefore, all who intrust themselves to our care may do so with the 
assurance that we know well that it is absolutely necessary that all 
travelers must return home satisfied that they have received value 
for the money expended, to insure the reputation of our firm being 
maintained. 

As the founders of this peculiar system, established in 1841, we 
are the pioneers and leaders of tourist arrangements in all parts of 
the world. It is well known that our firm has been successful, and 
therefore it is not surprising that imitators should spring up on all 
sides; and since the organization of "Cook's Excursion Parties from 
America to Europe," quite a number of those who first visited 
Europe under our arrangements have attempted to compete with us, 
by copying our programmes and itineraries, and putting what they 
call their programmes of their tours before the American public, 
simply as speculators — not being able to carry out their own ar- 
rangements — with the special object of making large profits, to pay 
the expenses of themselves and their families, and having a tour to 
Europe, out of the few passengers who intrust themselves to their 
care. 



The misfortune is that America is such a wide field for these 
speculators that they cau almost insure making up a party; and it 
is not until the travelers have had experience of their arrangements, 
and have returned from their tour, that they find out for whose 
benefit they have been traveling. 

We issue our programmes, in which are set forth clearly and 
distinctly the routes of travel provided for, the time spent at each 
place, the hotels at which the party stops, and defining exactly what 
the amount charged entitles the passengers to, besides giving a large 
amount of general information. We do not issue what are termed 
by these speculators "preliminary programmes," which occupy pages 
of high-flown language, full of names of places and points of interest 
which cannot possibly be visited or seen in the time allowed, and 
which leaves the passenger completely in the dark as to the time 
spent in each place, the name and class of the hotels at which the 
party will stay, etc. ; but after the deposits, and in many cases the 
fares, have been paid, they then issue a brief itinerary, occupying 
a small percentage of the space of the preliminary, or alluring 
pamphlet. 

The programmes we issue are compiled and placed before the pub- 
lic as the result of many years' personal traveling experience, based upon 
what ourselves and our responsible assistants know can be earned out 
within the time and cost specified; and moreover, we never intrust our 
parties to the inexperienced guidance of men who have never been over 
the routes before. The conductors who travel with our parties are the 
recognized representatives of the firm, and are all gentlemen of educa- 
tion and expeiience, who mingle with then- parties on terms of perfect 
equality. Then - office is to act as business manager, to engage ac- 
commodations at hotels, see to the arrangement for railway carnages, 
look after the baggage, and to relieve the travelers generally of the 
thousand and one annoyances that travelers in Europe are subjected to. 

We prepare all our programmes and itineraries for personally 



6 ^C00K'^Eai^0PE^^E^Ca^I0^.={^ 

conducted parties to Europe, with a full knowledge of owe responsibil- 
ity, and fully recognizing the fact that every one intrusting themselves 
to our care, does so in the hope that from the time they leave for 
Europe until they return, they may have then overworked and ex- 
hausted energies so relieved, and all the senses of pleasure and en- 
joyment so occupied, that they may derive all the benefit possible 
from the free and unfettered intercourse and commingling with 
foreign nationalities and scenes, and that they may return to their 
homes with expanded minds, enlarged and ennobled ideas, and 
renewed constitutions, strengthened to bear the duties before them. 
This pamphlet is published at this early date for the sjDecial pur- 
pose of giving information to those who contemplate visiting Europe 
with one of our personally conducted parties; and in the following 
pages we give a complete outline of our arrangements for these 
parties for the present year. We have arranged for 

OUR ANNUAL MAY PARTY 

to leave New York by the Inman Line steamer " City of Brussels " 
on April 19th, and full particulars are given on pages 9 to 20 of 
this pamphlet. 

OUR GRAND ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL VACATION PARTY, 

which is specially designed and arranged for students, teachers, and 
those engaged in educational work, and which has always been 
largely patronized by them, will leave New York by the Anchor Line 
steamer "Devonia" of July 3d. For full particulars as to this party, 
see pages 21 to 38 of this pamphlet. 

OUR MIDSUMMER PARTY 

will leave New York by the Inman Line steamer " City of Rich- 
mond" on July 31st. For full particulars as to this party, see pages 
39 to 51 of this pamphlet. 



In order to show in a more comprehensive form the routes over 
which these parties will travel, we have had specially engraved for 
this pamphlet a Map of Europe, which shows our extensive 
system of tours generally, and which shows also the routes followed 
by our American Excursion parties. 

A short description of the principal places of interest visited by 
these parties is also given on pages 54 to 60. 

We therefore invite all persons contemplating joining either 
of these parties, to carefully study our programmes, and apply to 
our Chief American Office, 261 Broadway, New York, or any other 
authorized Agency, if any further information or explanation is 
required, before deciding upon the party they intend to join. 

Although this pamphlet is published for the special object of an- 
nouncing our Personally Conducted Parties for the present year, we 
have pleasure in impressing upon intending travelers the fact that 
although Personally Conducted Parties constitute an important part of 
our business, we wish it to be distinctly understood that they do not 
average more than five per cent, of our receipts, and that our chief 
business consists of supplying travelers with 

Cook's Iiiternatioiial Traveling Tickets, which enable 

one or more Passengers to travel by all Chief Lines 

of Steamers and Railways to any part of, or 

" Around the Globe," at any time, and 

do not compel the holders to 

travel in parties. 

Intending travelers have only to send to our Chief American Office, 

261 Broadway, New York, or any accredited Agency, an outline sketch 

of the tour they wish to take, stating the line of steamers, the route 

they wish to travel by, and the time to be occupied, and we will, in 

return, give them a correct quotation for the total fare for their proposed 

journeys. 

For the special comfort and convenience of those who do not wish 
to join a publicly advertised party, and at the same time wish to travel 



8 -HcC0@K'g^Ea^0PE^Is[^E^CaR5I0^.^ 

through Europe as comfortably as possible, and relieve themselves of 
the worry and anxiety of traveling alone and making their own 
arrangements, attending to their own baggage, securing hotel accom- 
modation, etc., we are prepared to give quotations for 

PRIVATE AND FAMILY PARTIES, 

for whom, under special contract, we will undertake to send a qualified 
conductor for any tour they may wish to take. Of course, the charge 
for such parties will be higher, in proportion per passenger, than the 
charge made for the publicly advertised parties ; but the fare will be 
quoted on such a basis as will simply repay us the salary and expenses 
of the conductor for the time he is with the party. All we require is, 
that at least three weeks' notice be given to our New York Office 
of the exact date the party will arrive in England, so that we may 
make the necessary arrangements for a competent conductor to meet 
them on landing from the steamer. 

Passengers traveling in the ordinary way with our International 
Traveling Tickets will receive the free assistance of our salaried staff 
of representatives, who will be found at our various offices in the 
chief cities in Europe and the East. They will be met on landing at 
the steamers, and assisted in Custom House examinations, etc.

INTRODUCTION. 



We have pleasure in announcing our first personally conducted 
tour to Europe for the season of 1880. Favorable arrangements have 
been made by us with the Inman Line S. S. Co., whereby we are 
enabled to offer to applicants for this party a good selection of berths, 
and we call special attention to. the fact that only two passengers will 
be placed in one state-room, thus rendering the ocean voyage as 
pleasant and comfortable as possible. The party will sail from New 
York by the steamer " City of Brussels," 3,775 tons burden, and one 
of the finest steamers of the Inman fleet, Captain Fredk. Watkins, 
Commander. 

The programme for this party is based on the experience of past 
years, and, as it will be seen, it includes the choicest and most inter- 
esting routes of European travel. 

As this party will be limited in number, persons contemplating 
joining it should make early application 

THOMAS COOK & SON. 



t 



THE ROUTE. 



The party will laud at Liverpool and proceed through the picturesque 
Derbyshire district to London. After a few days in the great city the narty 
will go to Paris, and proceed thence to Italy, leaving the beauties of 
Switzerland and the Rhine to be seen on the return. The season of the year 
selected will find each country in its loveliest condition. Visiting Italy 
previous to the heated term, the party will enter Switzerland at thel\eight 
of the season. 

The route from Paris will be by the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean Rail- 
way to Fontainebleau, Dijon, Modane, and through the Mt. Cenis Tunnel 
to Turin, when after a night's rest, proceed direct to Genoa, thence 
to Pisa, via the Riviera line; from Pisa via Leghorn and the coast of the 
Mediterranean to Civita Vecchia and Rome, where five days will be given 
for sight-seeing, three of which will be under the guidance of Mr. Shak- 
spere Wood, the well-known archaeologist, according to programme shown 
on another page ; from Rome to Naples, then to Pompeii and back ; a 
steamboat trip on the Bay of Naples, to visit the orange groves of Sor- 
rento; the ascent of Vesuvius; from Naples back to Rome, thence 
to Florence, for two or three days visiting the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti 
Palace, etc. ; then via Bologna to Venice, where three dajs will be spent. 
The route is then to Verona, with its Amphitheatre almost equal to the 
Coliseum ; then to Milan, with its magnificent Cathedral ; from Milan the 
party will make an excursion to Bellagio on Lake Como, and thence 
proceed by the Simplon Pass into Switzerland, combining railway, dili- 
gence and steamboat, united in such a manner as not to fatigue, and 
at the same time giving the Tourist the opportunity of seeing the grand- 
est scenery on the European Continent. After passing Sierre, Martigny will 
be reached, where mules or carriages will be taken for the trip across the 
celebrated Tete Noir to Chamounix, where abundant opportunities will be 
siven to those who wish to visit the Mer De Glace, or to make the ascent of 
Mt. Blanc. Thence by diligence through Sallanches to Geneva for a short 
halt; then to Lausanne, Fribourg, Berne, Thun and Interlaken; thence to 
Giessbach, to see its beautiful Waterfall, which will be illuminated while 
the party is there; from there over the Lake of BrieDZ to the town of 
that name, where carriages will be waiting to convey the party over the 
Brunig Pass of the "Bernese Oberland " to Alpnacht, there to again take 
steamer on the Lake of the Four Cantons to Lucerne, where the ascent of 
the Righi will be made to see the sunrise; from Lucerne via Zu» to 
Zurich and its lovely lake: then to Schaffhausen to see the Falls of the 
Rhine; from thence the route will be over the Black Forest Railway, one 
of the greatest engineering achievements in Europe, passing Donaueschin"- 
en, the source of the Danube, to Strasbourg, visiting its Cathedral and its 
wonderful clock; thence to Baden Baden and Heidelberg. From Heidel- 
berg to Wiesbaden the route will be via Frankfort, stopping over one 
train at this last place. The next day one of the magnificent saloon 
express steamers will be taken for the trip down the Rhine, reaching 
Cologne quite early enough to visit the Cathedral, the Church of St & 
Ursula, with the bones of the eleven thousand virgins, etc. From Cologne 
via Verviers and Liege to Brussels, visiting the battle-field of Waterloo; 
thence to Antwerp via Malines; thence through the ancient city of Doit to 
the Hague, crossing the longest railway bridge in the world; thence to 
Amsterdam, returning via Utrecht to Rotterdam ; and thence by one of the 
large steamers of the Harwich or Flushing route to London.

Thos. Cook & Son. We will upon a receipt of the same, return a " De- 
posit Receipt" and a plan of the steamer, showing the location of the

our best judgment in the interest of each, and advise them at once. The 
balance of the money can be paid any time after April 10th. 

Extension of Time. 

Breaks in the Journey can be made at almost any principal point, and 
as the return steamship tickets are good for one year, any of the members of 
this party can remain in Europe at their discretion. The whole amount of 
fare must be paid before starting, but they can receive back the value 
of their unused tickets and Hotel coupons, less 10 per cent., (Swiss 
Traveling Tickets excepted) at the Chief London Office, or they cau be ex-

On the return from the Continent, if any wish to extend their tour to the 
English Lakes, Scotland, and Ireland, taking the steamer at Liverpool or

if a party of 10 or more is made up for such supplementary tour, a Con- 
ductor will be sent with them, without extra charge.

Katrine, Glasgow, Belfast, the Giant's Causeway, Dublin, and the Lakes of 
Killarney, thence to Queenstown to join the steamer, may be accomplished

Other Lines of Steamers. 

Any who desire to avail themselves of this Tour, and join this party, 
but prefer some other line of steamers, we can accommodate them, and will 
give them a special quotation either higher or lower, according to the line 
preferred. We will also, for those who have engaged steamship passage, 
give quotations, and book them from Liverpool, London or Paris. 

Detours. 

Any member of the above party will be allowed to leave the main party 
to visit other localities, provided early notice be given to the Conductor,

MONEY, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND CIRCULAR CHECKS are issued 
by us at current rates, in the denomination of five or ten pounds sterling 
each, and are payable at nearly every point on the route, or will be cashed 
by the Conductor as required, and in the currency of the country where the 
party happens to be at the time. 

Cautionary Proviso. 

The liability of Alpine roads and railroads in the neighborhood of moun- 
tains to damage from storms and other influences beyond human control, 
renders it necessary that we should announce that we cannot be responsible 
for detention or expenses incurred by deviation of routes occasioned by cir- 
cumstances of this nature, nor for delays or deviations that may be caused 
through the railways being required for military purposes. 

The most that Companies will do under such circumstances is to repay the 
value of any tickets or proportion of tickets not used for lines thus rendered 
impassable ; and all claims in such cases must be sent in writing, accom- 
panied by the unused tickets, within one month from the date for which 
such tickets were available. 

Baggage. — Whilst anxious to render all possible assistance to travel- 
ers in the transport, care and registration of baggage, Thos. Cook & Son 
cannot admit responsibility in cases of detention, stray conveyance, damage 
to or loss of baggage. In all cases of transference it is necessary that bag- 
gage should be identified by its owners, especially on entering and leaving 
hotels and railway stations ; and whenever baggage is subject to customs 
examination, its owners should be present to answer for it. 

N. B. — Great care will be taken in the registration and conveyance of the 
trunks or portmanteaus of the parties whilst travelling with the Conductor; 
but it must be distinctly understood that all small packages, such as hand- 
bags, umbrellas, travelling rugs, &c, must remain entirely under the control 
of the passenger.

INTRODUCTION. 



The Annual Educational Vacation Parties established by us in 187o are now so 
well known to Americans, and so well understood, that it is not necessary for us to 
give any elaborate or explanatory introduction to the present programme. Over 
1,000 ladies and gentlemen connected with various educational movements, repre- 
senting almost every State in the Union, have visited Europe under our arrange- 
ments, in connection with these Special Excursions ; and we have no doubt they have 
lepoited to thousands of iriends their opinions as to the manner in which Thos. Cook 
& Son carry out their contracts, and the advantages they have gained by traveling 
under our arrangements with such associated parties, composed of kindred spirits 
gathered together from all parts of the States, for the object of obtaining rest, relax- 
ation and new vigor, strengthened by the knowledge and new ideas which such a 
party on such tours must acquire and promulgate to each other, from the various 
stand-points of different individuals. 

We have received very flattering testimonials from many of the members of these 
parties, and we know that many lasting friendships have been formed on these tours 
by passengers who were previously strangers to each other. We also know that 
international travel is one of the best means of educ itiou that can be adopted, and 
we are every year confirmed in this view by the great number of sermons that are 
preached, lectures delivered, and books published by professional ladies and gentle- 
men in America and Europe. 

We have also proof of the advantages from the fact that quite a number of gentle- 
men who made their first visits to Europe under our arrangements, and whose 
traveling education was derived from ourselves 'and our assida?its, are now drawing 
programmes based upon our printed announcements, and are trying to organize par- 
ties on their own account. We are quite prepared toco-operate with such gentlemen, 
and give them all facilities for carrying out their ideas ; but we are not prepared to 
place such gentlemen in the position of middle-men, deriving large profits by charg- 
ing the passengers more than we charge them. It must therefore be understood 
that we will quote the lowest possible fares to secure comfort and pleasure, and so 
insure the Tourist to Europe the full benefits to be derived from our system. 

We have learned from past experience that it is not advisable to crowd four passen- 
gers in one state-room, as was the case with the large parties of 1878. We have 
therefore the pleasure of announcing that in connection with this party we have 
entered into special arrangements with the Anchor Line Steamship Company, whereby 
we are enabled to offer the best rooms on the steamer sailing July 3d, and we wish 
it to be distinctly understood that, with the exception of a few forward rooms (where 
three passengers will be placed, that all the rooms in the after-part of the ship will 
be occupied by two persons only. 

The steamship " Devonia " is appointed to sail on the 3d of July, 1880. She is one 
of the largest and finest steamers of the- Anchor Line Fleet, and is upwards of 4,000 
tons burthen. She is specially adapted for conveying large parties comfortably, owing 
to her great size, comfort and safety ; and she is fitted up in a grand and luxurious 
style, being provided with a large dining saloon amidships, and elegant music-room 
with piano and cabinet organ. A large library containing standard works is to be found 
in the music saloon. The staterooms are provided with all modern improvements 
aud are well lighted and ventilated, and the table and attendance are first-class. 

With these remarks, the itineraries of the three sections constituting this party 
are respectfully submitted, by 

THOMAS COOK & SON.

A Deposit of Fifty Dollars 



is required from each person who decides to go with either of the sections of 
this tour ; when the deposit is made, the name is registered, and the berths are 
allotted in the exact order of these deposits, the earliest depositors, of course, re- 
ceiving the best berths. 

Forty dollars of this deposit may be withdrawn up to June 15th, after which 
time the whole amount is due. 



How to Join the Party. 



Persons desirous of joining this party should write as early as possible, en- 
closing draft on any bank or postal order made payable to the order of Thos. 
Cook & Son, and slating distinctly which section they wish to join. We will, upon re- 
ceipt of the same, return a "Deposit Beceipt" and a plan of the steamer, 
showing the location of the berths we can offer. Should the choice of berths 
be left to us, we will use our best judgment in the interest of each, and advise 
them at once. The balance of the money can be paid any time after June 15th. 

Extension of Time. 

The steamship tickets for these toui-s are good to return any time during the 
year on any steamer of the Anchor Line which sails from Glasgow. 

Breaks in the Jouknet can be made at almost any principal point, and as 
the return steamship tickets are good for one year, any of the members of this 
party can remain in Europe at their discretion. The whole amount of fare must 
be paid before starting, but they can receive back the value of their unused tick- 
ets and Hotel Coupons, less 10 per cent., (Swiss Traveling Tickets excepted) at the 
Chief London Office, or they can be exchanged for tickets to other points at 
their full value. 

On the return from the Continent, if any wish to extend their tour to the Eng- 
lish Lakes, Scotland, and Ireland, taking the steamer at Moville, quotations 
will be given by Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son ; and if a party of 10 or more is 
made up for such supplementary tour, a Conductor will be sent with them, 
without extra charge. 

Other Lines of Steamers. 

To any who wish to avail themselves of this Tour, and join this party, 
but prefer some other line of steamers, we can accommodate them, and will 
give them a special quotation either higher or lower, according to the line 
preferred. We will also, for those who have engaged steamship passage, 
give quotations, and book them from Liverpool, London or Paris. 

Detours. 

Any member of the above party will be allowed to leave the main party, 
to visit other localities, provided early notice be given to the Conductor, 
so that engagements for hotel accommodations may not be violated. 
Hotel coupons will be supplied those who so leave the party, for the num- 
ber of days they expect to be absent. Any unused coupons to be redeemed 
at the advertised rate.

LETTEES may be addressed to any member of the party, care of Thomas 
Cook & Son, Ludgate Circus, London, and such letters will be carefully 
forwarded to the Conductor of the party for delivery. 

MONEY, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND CIRCULAR CHECKS are issued 
by us, at current rates, in the denomination of five or ten pounds sterling 
each, and are payable at nearly every point on the route, or will be cashed 
by the Conductor as required, and in the currency of the country where the 
party happens to be at the time. 

Cautionary Proviso, applying to all Sections. 

The liability of Alpine roads and railroads in the neighborhood of moun- 
tains to damage from storms and other influences beyond human control, 
renders it necessary that we should announce that we cannot be responsible 
for detention or expenses incurred by deviation of routes occasioned by cir- 
cumstances of this nature, nor for delays or deviation that may be caused 
through the railways being required for military purposes. 

The most that Companies will do under such circumstances is to repay the 
value of any tickets or proportion of tickets not used for lines thus rendered 
impassable ; and all claims in such cases must be sent in writing, accompanied 
by the unused tickets, within one- month from the date for which such tickets 
were available. 

Baggage.— Whilst anxious to render all possible assistance to travel- 
lers in the transport, care and registration of baggage, Thos. Cook & Son 
cannot admit responsibility in cases of detention, stray conveyance, damage 
to or loss of baggage. In all cases of transference it is necessary that bag- 
gage should be identified by its owners, especially on entering and leaving 
hotels and railway stations ; and whenever baggage is subject to customs ex- 
amination, its owners should be present to answer for it. 

N. B. — Great care will be taken in the registration and conveyance of the 
trunks or portmanteaus of the parties whilst travelling with the Conductor; 
but it must be distinctly understood that all small packages, such as hand- 
bags, umbrellas, travelling rugs, &c, must remain entirely under the control 
of the passenger.

INTRODUCTION. 



The success which has attended the Midsummer parties in previous 
years, justifies as in organizing a similar tour annually. We have again tlie 
pleasure of announcing that we have made a special arrangement with the 
Inman Steamship Company for the conveyance of this party from New York 
to Liverpool, on the steamship " City of Richmond," one of the largest and 
finest steamers of their fleet. 

Under this special arrangement we are enabled to quote for this party the 
lowest possible fares, giving the choice of three routes. 

Special attention is called to the first section, which embraces Liverpool, 
London, Paris, etc., the whole trip lasting 34 days. We can especially 
recommend this section to those who, having but little time at their dis- 
posal, wish to have the benefit of the sea journey and to make a short stay 
in London and Paris. 

Those having more time at their disposal cannot fail to appreciate the 
itineraries of the second and third sections. 

If after the perusal of the following itineraries further information is re- 
quired, please address

A Deposit of Fifty Dollars 



Is required from each person who decides to go with either of the sections of 
this tour. "When the deposit is made, the name is registered, and the berths are 
allotted in the exact order of these deposits, the earliest depositors, of course, 
receiving the best berths. 

Forty dollars of this deposit may be withdrawn up to July 12th, after which 
time the whole amount is due. 

How to Join the Party. 

Persons desirous of joining this party should write us as early as possible, 
enclosing draft on any bank, or postal order, made payable to the order of 
Thos. Cook & Son, and stating distinctly which section they wish to 
join. We will, upon receipt of the same, return a; "Deposit Receipt" and 
a plan of the steamer, showing the location of the berths we can 
offer. Should the choice of berths be left to us, we will use our best 
judgment in the interest of each, and advise them at once. The balance of 
the money can be paid any time after July 12th. 

The Staterooms 

Are all on the main deck, and are -arranged for two and three persons ; the 
two-berth rooms are for married couples, thus accommodating family parties 
and friends. Berths are allotted in accordance with the order in which passen- 
gers book. 

Extension of Time. 

The steamship tickets for these tours are good to return any time during the 
year on any steamer of the Inman Line which sails from Liverpool or Queens- 
town. 

Breaks in the Journey can be made at almost any principal point, and as the 
return steamship tickets are good for one year, any of the members of this party 
can remain in Europe at their discretion The whole of the fare must be paid 
before stalling, but they can receive back the value of their unused tickets and 
hotel coupons, less 10 per cent., (Swiss traveling tickets excepted,) at the Chief London 
Office, or they can be exchanged for tickets to other points at their full value. 

On the return from the Continent, if any wish to extend their tour to the 
English Lakes, Scotland and Ireland, taking the steamer at Liverpool or Queens- 
town, quotations will be given by Messrs. Thos. Cook & Son ; and if a party of 
ten or more be made up for this supplementary tour, a conductor will be sent 
with them without extra charge. 

A very interesting tour from London, combining the English Lakes, Melrose. 
Abbotsford, Edinbvirgk, Stirling, the Trossaehs, Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine. 
Glasgow, Belfast, the Giant's Causeway, Dublin, and the Lakes of Killarney. 
thence to Queenstown to join the steamer, may be accomplished comfortably in 
from ten to twelve days. Passengers who have made up their minds to make 
the above tour, after they have visited the Continent, can have a quotation from 
the New York office for the entire fare. 

Other Lines of Steamers. 

To any who desire to avail themselves of this Tour and join this party, 
but prefer some other line of steamers, we can accommodate them, and will 
give them a special quotation either higher or lower, according to the line 
preferred. We will also, for those who have engaged steamship passage, 
give quotations, and book them from Liverpool, London or Paris.

Detours. 

Auy member of the above party will be allowed to leave the main party 
to visit other localities, provided he gives early notice to the Conductor, 
so engagements for hotel accommodations may not be violated. 

Hotel coupons will be supplied those who so leave the party, for the num- 
ber of days they expect to be absent. Any unused coupons to be redeemed 
at the advertised rate. 

LETTERS may be addressed to any member of the party, care of Thomas 
Cook & Son, Ludgate Circus, London, and such letters will be carefully 
forwarded to the Conductor of the party for delivery. 

MONEY, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND CIRCULAR CHECKS are issued 
by us, at current rates, in the denomination of five or ten pounds sterling 
each, and are payable at nearly every point on the route, or will be cashed 
by the Conductor as required, and in the currency of the country where the 
party happens to be at the time. 

Cautionary Proviso, applying to all Sections. 

The liability of Alpine roads and railroads in the neighborhood of 
mountains to damage from storms and other influences beyond human con- 
trol, renders it necessary that we should announce that we cannot be respon- 
sible for detention or expenses incurred by deviation of routes occasioned 
by circumstances of this nature ; nor for delays or deviation that may be 
caused through the railway being required for military purposes. 

The most that companies will do under such circumstances is to repay 
the value of any tickets or proportion of tickets not used for lines thus ren- 
dered impassable ; and all claims in such cases must be sent in writing, ac- 
companied by the unused tickets, within one month from the date for which 
such tickets were available. 

Baggage. — Whilst anxious to render all possible assistance to the travel- 
ers in the transport, care and registration of baggage, Thos. Cook & Son 
cannot admit responsibility in cases of detention, stray conveyance, damage 
to or loss of baggage. In all cases of transference it is necessary that bag- 
gage should be identified by its owners, especially on entering and leaving 
hotels and railway stations ; and whenever baggage is subject to Customs 
examination its owner should be present to answer for it. 

N. B. — Great care will be taken in the registration and conveyance of the 
trunks or portmanteaus of the parties whilst traveling with the Conductor; 
but it must be distinctly understood that all small packages, such as hand- 
bags, umbrellas, traveling rugs, &c, must remain entirely under the control 
of the passenger. 

THOS. COOK &c SON, 

261 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. 



USEFUL HINTS FOR TOURISTS, CONCERNING EUROPEAN TRAVEL. 



Passports. — As a rule, passports arc unnecessary for the countries these parties will visit ; 
still, if war should break out, passports might be needed. It only requires three days to get 
them from the State Department, and we will procure them for 50 cents each, in addition to the 
Government fee of $5. Applicants must fill up a blank, and swear to it before a notary, whose 
seal must be attached. The proper way to get them is to send ua 50 cents for the blank, fill the 
blank up. have it properly attested by a notary, and return it to us with $5 enclosed. There are 
two kinds of blanks — one for native born, and the other for naturalized citizens. Naturalized 
citizens must send their naturalization papers with their application, and the papers will be re- 
turned with the passport. 

Burgage. — It is of the greatest importance that passengers should take as little baggage with 
them on their tour as possible, as high rates are charged for extra baggage, especially on the 
Continent, and the limited weight allowed to tourists is 100 pounds on ocean steamers and up to 
London, 66 pounds being the weight allowed on the Continent of Europe. A strong medium- 
sized wooden or leather trunk is preferable, and where friends are traveling together, or in the 
case of married couples, a single trunk may serve for two persons. A small hand-bag or satchel, 
together with a shawl-strap, will be found of great convenience. Travelers should avoid over- 
loading themselves with unnecessary bundles and packages. A most valuable and useful article 
is a small field or large opera-glass, which should have a strap attached, by which it can be car- 
ried over the shoulder. 

A strong umbrella is frequently useful as a protection against sun and rain. 

SPECIAL NOTE TO BE OBSERVED ABOUT BAGGAGE. 

When leaving any hotel immediately after breakfast, to make a journey to another city, the 
trunks and small hand-bags should be packed, locked and strapped before leaving the bed-room. 
While at breakfast, the porters will remove all baggage, placing the small articles where you can 
lay your hands on them before entering the omnibus, and convey the large baggage to the 
station. 

Clothing. — For the ocean passage', the tourist should provide himself for all kinds of 
weather. The clothing should be ample, to guard against chills, and outside wraps, shawls, 
overcoats, worsted leggins and rugs will be found highly useful. Ladies will find camel-hair serge 
or woolen dresses the best. Jewelry of value shovild not be taken, with the exception, perhaps, 
of one set, to be worn constantly. Gentlemen will find warm clothing throughout, with an 
overcoat, very serviceable, so that prolonged sojourns may be made upon the deck, and cold 
winds may be encountered without discomfort. All clothing worn on steamers may be left 
behind either at Glasgow, Liverpool, or at our Chief Omce, Ludgate Circus, London, where it will 
be stored at a slight expense. For traveling on the Continent, ladies should have a traveling and 
walking dress, and a black silk or stylish costume for receptions or dress occasions. For gentle- 
men, a traveling siiit, also a black suit for dress occasions. If a full-dress suit is found nec- 
essary, it may be hired at a slight expense at almost every place. 

Washing In hotels on the Continent of Europe there are ample facilities for getting wash- 
ing for travelers done quickly. It should be given to the chambermaid early in the day, and a 
list made out of the articles, with the day and hour at which they are required to be returned 
clearly written at the foot. 

Washing books, in different languages, may be obtained at any of Cook's Tourist Offices. 

Sundries. — A few suggestions as to some further requisites may be appreciated. A pocket 
compass will be found invaluable; a light scrap-book, and of a size easily disposed of in packing; 
a package or two of address or visiting cards; toilet soap; case with needles, thread, ball of string, 
buttons, scissors, penknife, and such other little articles as may suggest themselves and which 
may prpve useful. 

Medicines. — It is not our vocation to prescribe, but aperient or astringent medicines may 
be required, and quinine is not unfrequently of use. Parties would do well to consult their 
visual medical attendant on this subject before leaving. First-class physicians and apothecaries 
can be found in all principal cities in Europe, and usually in our parties there is some member 
of the medical profession. A little court plaster, extract of ginger, ammonia, arnica, or some kind 
of Uniment, enter into every tourist's outfit. 

Foreign Moneys. — On page 53 of this pamphlet will be found an explanation of our Cir- 
cular Notes and Letters of Credit and of our Foreign Banking and Exchange Department ; and 
on 3d page of cover we also give a money table showing the relative value of European currencies. 

Custom. House Examinations. — All baggage is examined by the Custom House authori- 
ties in the various countries visited by these parties, and every assistance will be rendered by 
our conductors to facilitate this matter. Travelers should be in readiness with their keys and 
answer correctly, stating the contents of any trunks or parcels, and give to the officials every aid 
in the performance of their duty. 

L<anguiiges. — Whilst aknowledge of some of the Continental languages is very useful, still 
persons traveling with our parties do not absolutely need to speak them, as the conductor acts as 
interpreter where necessary, and English is spoken by almost all of the hotel keepers, waiters and 
merchants throughout the Continent. 

• The traveler will do well to provide himself with a copy of the " Tourist's Conversational Guide 
to France, Germany and Italy," by J. T. Loth, which can be obtained at any of our offices, price 
35 cents. 

Guide Books and Maps — A list of our Guide Books is shown on 2d page of cover.

Circular Notes and Letters of Credit 



Six years ago we commenced a system of Circular Notes for the 
accommodation of our travelers. These Notes are of the value of £5 
or £10 each, and can be purchased at the Chief American Office, 261 
Broadway, New York, or at our Chief Office, Ludgate Circus, London. 

In addition to all the conveniences of ordinary Circular Notes, they 
have the advantage of being, by our special arrangements, cashed at all 
the Hotels on our list, and also by the Conductors of our parties. By 
this system passengers obviate the delays which frequently arise to 
travelers who, arriving at certain points on the Continent after bank- 
ing hours, and who only wish to stay the one night, and would leave 
early the next morning but for the fact that they must lose a day or a 
portion of a day through having to wait for the opening of the bank. 

These Notes have been issued in such large numbers during the 
past few years, that we felt justified, in 1878, in making 

FOREIGN BANKING AND EXCHANGE 

a special department of our business, at our Chief Office in London, 
where travelers from America can receive, in exchange for their Cir- 
cular Notes, obtained at our New York Office, current coin of the 
various countries they intend to pass through during their tour in 
Europe. The Circular Notes are all made payable to the order of the 
holder, and are of no value without bearing the holder's signature. 



Cool's International Reaftinp; and Waiting Rooms, 

at Ludgate Circus and 445 Strand, London, are open for the free use 
of all travelers, or parties, with Cook's Tickets. 

BAGGAGE STORED in London at either Ludgate Circus or 
445 Strand, or forwarded to any part of the globe.

(Cook's Tourist Office, 22 Galerie du Roi.) 

5TIBERNE (Switzerland).— Pop. 37,000. The capital of the Canton Berne, 
and seat of Swiss Government. Situated on the River Aar, which nearly encir- 
cles the city. Places of interest: — Cathedral, with Domplatz; Federal Palace; 
Museum; Clock Tower: Rathhaus; Roman Catholic Church, etc., etc. 

<*■ CHAMOUNY (Savoy).— 3,150 feet above the level of the sea. A village in 
the valley of the same name, at the foot of Mont Blanc, distant about 50 miles 
from Geneva. Diligences in the season. Distance frorn Martigny to Chanioimix, 
22 miles. I| Several days may be well devoted to explore this celebrated region. 



The Montanvert, which can be ascended on mules, and commands a view of the 
Mer de Glace, ought to be the first excursion. It is an elevated pasture on the 
summit of a mountain under the Aiguilles de Charmoz. From this are seen to 
advantage the heights of the Brevent and of the Aiguillee Eouges. At the 
summit of the Montanvert is a small building, where beds and refreshments 
may be had. The height of Montanvert above the valley of Chamounix is 2,565 
feet. The Glacier de Bossons, which may be seen the same day, at the other end 
of the valley, is remarkable for the purity of the ice, and for the picturesque for- 
mation of its ice needles and obelisks. The Brevent, on the opposite side of the 
valley, 8,000 feet above the sea, affords a magnificent view of the whole range 
of Mont' Blanc, with its numerous peaks covered with snow, and the glaciers 
pouring down into the valley. The Flegere, on the same side, commands the 
same view at a less elevation/and may be accomplished in half a day. The active 
mountaineer would be well repaid by a day's excursion to the Jardin, across the 
Mer de Glace, 9,100 feet above the sea— a small portion of green earth, covered 
with flowers in full bloom, in a region of snow and ice, commanding a view 
. of the recesses of this wonderful range of snowy peaks. From Chamounix to 
Martigny, by the passes of the Tete Noire or the Col de Balme, about nine hours 
would be required; these roads are practicable for mules. To the Jardin is a 
fatiguing and severe excursion for ladies. They are sometimes deceived by

tt.i As the above Table is intended for the ordinary purposes of the tourist, fractions are avoided 
as far as possible. The variation from the exact value is rarely as much as one per cent. 

We have taken even denominations of sterling money as the basis of the table, partly because 
the tourist usually becomes familiar with that currency in the first part of his travels, partly 
because it is so much used as a standard of exchange, and partly because we thus get a larger 
number of even denominations in the other foreign moneys. 

* The mark may be taken as practically equivalent to the English shilling. 

In the new 20-niark piece there are 7.10 grammes of pure gold : in the sovereign, 7.32 grins. ; iu 
the French 25-franc piece. 7.26 grms. ; in the United States B-dollar piece, 7.52 grms. 

t The florin of the Austrian paper currency is virtually equivalent to the Dutch florin, and is 
divided into 100 kreutzers, as that is into 100 cents. The value of this Austrian paper is variable, 
but for small amounts may be taken as given in the table.
